Back In The Ol' Days [2014] we had the punk/nerd AU... but I have my gripes with the PNAU; it feels outdated to me. In 2014 I ate that shit up, but it's 2024 and the rampant micro-trends have me re-thinkin modern Hijack portrayals...

So here I am to propose a new PNAU: Grunge X Emo.

Hiccup as a cozy grunge kind of guy- basically just classic comfy casual clothes but with earthy tones, ripped up jeans covered in motor oil stains, and loose flannel shirts over worn-out tees.

Jack as a casual emo kind of guy- Skinny jeans with rips (often on the end of the legs cause they annoy them when they're too long), tight band tees, and his classic hoodie he can disappear into the shadowy hood of to sulk.

Elaboration ⬇️

I think it could be fun to explore the way Hiccup has a ton of hand-me-downs and spends a lot of time patching up old clothes, or adding custom painted patches to his bags. Maybe he knows how to sew just from patching/mending. I like that in the movies we see him doing bith heavy work in the forge, and having gentle hands as an artist. I think he'd be good at a ton of different diy skills and put them to practical use with his wardrobe.

In canon, Hiccup does have a lot of leftist and punk ideology; The Edge is literally equal-ownership equal-imput everyone else just decides he runs the show. And he literally changes the dominant mindset of the society he lives in to better the life of both his people and the ones they've been at war with for decades. Hes pretty punk... but I don't see him going so far aesthetically as to be a full Spiky Punk TM. He's always on the move, working on something, or chilling outside with Toothless, so I think a more casual comfortable style suits him. Though I do think he would like jackets with extra straps and buckles on the pockets and stuff, and maybe a good belt bag + leatherman combo. Totally the type to always have a pocket knife. He'd paint himself patches and slap a few of em on his bags, coats, maybe over that burn hole in his jeans that's been annoying him. He'd favor practicality over aesthetic, but he still has a sense of style. As he gets older he probably leans into the edgier style, wearing more black and red combos, more strappy belts/coats/bags, and even gets a few tattoos. But I do see him as a grungey earthy engineering guy with comfy, often oversized silhouettes.

Jack I could see being super impulsive and latching onto pop culture; something emos were notorious for. I, personally, was clamoring for a branded tee shirt the moment I deemed a band good enough to youtube->mp3 to my ipod. I could see Jack doing that kind of thing, and latching onto this misunderstood invisible-yet-visibly-different identity. He probably favors dark blue, brown, and black. Deffinitely the type to get on the colored jeans trend when it hit. Maybe he even doodles little swirling patterns on his clothes when he's bored- an adhd habit I know all too well.

Without being, yanno, dead, Jack's Different Look would probably come just from him wanting to express himself. He feels isolated and finds it hard to make lasting friends because when people *do* notice him, they tend to see him more as a silly little jester than a person worth getting to know. He copes with humor and trying to get attention every now and again but ends up with a closer knit group of oddballs. He's good with kids, of course, and tends to take on a cool-big-brother to anyone in need of one. All of this playing into this casual and easy-going but edgy, kinda emo look. He probably listens to sad emo music while sitting on a roof, staring at the moon, contemplating his purpose in life. He pretty much does that in his movie so it isn't much of a stretch lol.

Anyways, feel free ro give your 2 cents and build onto or off of this as you please, I'm just brainstorming I guess. Thinkin aloud... visually. I tend to like psychoanalyzing characters and it's interesting to me to think of Hic & Jack's canon portrayals and what they would mean in a modern-human AU.

Part three of the Wyll origin run

Ah man, this is a lot. I haven't had Gale so excited to talk to me since my first playthrough 500 hours ago it's kind of cute ngl

I'm thinking about Wyll being emo during the party cause the little scene is one of my favorites, and trying to cheer him up from his body dysphoria(?) but I also really, REALLY, enjoy the idea of Wyll stuffing his feelings down to make everyone happy since he can't be emo by the river since he's the party lead. Wyll is trying to keep the team morale high and then when he's alone in his bed he just cries to sleep. Cause, let's be real, no one is mentally capable to help each other when the player is the therapist.

Also, his funny lines are pretty good and I have been picking every single option to have Wyll just laughing the pain away.

So, we saved Karlach, asked her if she had any advice on horn care since I feel like that's a WAY better route to go instead of Wyll being depressed during the party when you are Tav amd makes more sense since Wyll is gonna mingle.

(Side rant: People say Wyll sucks because he's insensitive but like, come on. He's a DEVIL not tielfing! I think he's allowed to express how he feels uncomfortable in his new DEVIL body. "But tielfings have horns!" yeah okay but they straight up saw Wyll as a human like two days ago, they know something is fishy with the sulfer smell coming off him. You gonna say there's no difference??? Now THAT is insensitive /hj lol)

I also went to the Rest and Counsellor Florrick asked what the hell happened and once again Wyll joked that he was running with the wrong crowd. Unfortunately that backed fired and she said she knew since his father informed them which damn. Ulder is talking mad shit about his own son, that's crazy. Felt bad and then she had the audacity to demand my help???? Like I was gonna give it but damn.

Anyways, I was hoping to get to level 5 before the Goblin Camp but I didn't. So, we gambled it. Had Gut give me the sleep potion and got assistance for that. Knocked Minthara out cause I'm STILL trying to get that girl without being a bad guy. Then fought Ragzlin which.... that was rough. Gale did die but luckily his deas body did some damage to a goblin and Ragzlin. I usually cheese the fight but idk I decided not to this time around for some reason.

STILL not sure who imma romance. Flirted with Gale at the party, which was cute. I am leaning towards him cause I gotta stop romancing Astarion and Wyll all the time. And despite being a huge wyllstarion fan, Gale is doing something to my current need for a cute romance. Plus my other game I am romancing Astarion and Wyll (two Tav game yippee) so I should romance someone new. Karlach did not try to put the moves on me and I am not putting the moves on her so rip. First time ever Shadowheart and Lae'zel are meh about me, which is weird. I'll figure it out the next time I play but might be joining the Gale/Wyll club. I should find some fics to get into the mindset.

Also if anyone is reading these I should mention this is a modded custom game. Meaning I am using the mod honor feature unlock so i can have the playstyle with multiple saves, playing in a custom game that I cannot see the NPC HP, gave the NPC 100% more HP compared to the game 30% more. I want the multiple saves for story stuff cause I'm still trying out new lines but also I need the combat to be harder.

Honour Feature Unlock

Tactician Plus (best for party limit begone tbh this file I'm doing just 4 to a party tho but in other files with everyone, I use the 150% HP)

Selected ramblings from my ADHD addled brain as I watch Pit Babe (currently 40 minutes into episode 3):

It would be nice if the subtitles were better.

I'm still obsessed with Kim. The way he pulled that cigarette from Winner's mouth.

And to a lesser extent, Way.

I've watched too many shows in too little time and I'm in a particular mood and had too much caffeine, so I've not been able to just focus on stories and characters, but instead have been watching shows with a critical eye, picking apart editing, directorial choices, and most of all, the acting.

(Started the first 1.25 eps of Only Friends and have many thoughts on that front but they are not for this post.)

With Pit Babe, I've been thinking about the way actors (along with the camera work etc) convey power, authority and confidence. Which is very fitting for a show set in the omegaverse, which is all about power dynamics and dominance/submission. (Even if it's not doing a lot with omegaverse stuff so far.)

Been hyper focused on Pavel, and figuring out if he's just not very good, or if he's portraying layers. His Babe comes across to me as someone deeply insecure trying to seem like a badass, very fake. And at first I thought it was bad acting, but I'm willing to believe it's a deliberate character choice. His face annoys the hell out of me pretty much every second he's on screen, EXCEPT during his sex scenes when he lets his guard down and submits to Charlie. Those feel like the only moments when he isn't putting on a mask.

This idea of insecure faking-it Babe fits with other interpretations I've seen floating around tumblr, from people who are further along then me, and it makes the character much more tolerable to me.

Going back to Kim... I watched part of Best's Engine of Love section because I'm so obsessed with him as Kim and he is SO different. Like, I'm not even sure if he's good in En of Love, but he fits the tone of the show, and also just holds his body and face in a completely different way. And he hasn't had a single other show between that and this! Why?? I feel like he's actually an amazing actor and also he's gorgeous. Is it because he's kinda short? Thai BL has plenty of short men. Get this man a leading role stat!

(I do realize there are tons of behind the scenes politics and calculations as to who gets cast. And perhaps he doesn't even want to be a major actor. But I want HIM.)

I love Jeff and Alan. And Jeff's emo Japanese-BL-style hair.

I love Babe's house and those blasted out doors in the grey concrete walls. Seriously my favorite of the airbnb mansions I've seen in Thai bls. Though I'm pretty sure the interior and exterior shots are of different buildings, right? They're aesthetically different, but also don't seem to match up physically. At least from the little bit I've seen, I haven't actually tried to map them onto each other.

Gonna try and pull myself out of this bitchy judgmental mindset and get myself invested in the characters and the story.

I wasn't ignoring you! I've been depressed lately... So I haven't actually been sociable with many people at the moment, or with anyone if you want me to be honest. I would try to be in a healthier mindset before I get back into conversations with people if I am actually able to do so.

But, then I woke up to the news that the guitarist (from a band I listen to) is leaving the band. Because of the timing of the announcement.. I thought, along with many other fans, believed it was just an elaborate April Fool's prank. But it doesn't seem that way. So! Now that brought my depression back hearing that news. My mental health is changing everyday. So I have conflicting feelings about hearing that new today.

So there's that.

I know, I know.. I'm just overreacting about news that I'm not apart of in any way so it shouldn't effect me but it also does at the same time.

I've noticed some emojis don't seem to appear on certain devices so I will have to figure out an emoji that actually appears everywhere, or if it would be easiest to know who is who (while I'm being anonymous).

Yeah.. I'm a private person. I would only reveal things about myself if I am actually comfortable around any other person. I'm always like this all the time. Doesn't matter if you're family, friends, even strangers.

Oh! Yeah. Maybe I should've elaborated those specific relationships in fictional stories. I can see and read dark content, but never content in that way; those ships are limitations that I'm never comfortable with.

I wasn't going to say specific words in you - or anyone else who might have - read my messages. Since I know certain terms may actually be upsetting for some people. Maybe my explanation was just too vague though, so I should've elaborated more with being explicit about that.

Based on labels. My style was between "emo", "goth", "punk", "grunge" and every style in between that you could think of. Ripped jeans have always been my preference in pants.. Usually black shirts, sometimes I'd wear band shirts on occasion or shirts with graphic designs (skulls is an obvious example). Dyed hair, piercings. This is still my own style.

So it doesn't was not a phase for me like most people believed.. There was only a few people who knew that my style wasn't any phase at all either. Anyway! I'm getting too off topic again. Or at least I think I am.

Yes! Guys and girls could be friends. Not every relationship between a guy and girl have romantic or sexual either, there are also the platonic ships and even kinships too. Depending on how close their bonds are.

I rarely had female friends. Not because "I'm just like one of the guys." was the reason. Well.. Maybe I felt that way when I was a preteen that time. But I usually have better connections to guys. Nothing against a lot of women, since I know not every female is the same person when it comes to actions and reactions. I knew many girls who were always horrible to me. Other than people who treated me differently once it's been known that I'm disabled, since people have treated me different once they've found out about my disabilities (like autism for example) - but this is towards people in general though. When it comes to girls; so many female friends were jealous of me for whatever reasons they had. I'm not being conceited. They were actually jealous of me for any reasons I don't know. Any time I had other friends besides her, dating boyfriends or even had a crush on guys, she'd always steal them from me. Which is why I have trust issues with people. The girls I knew end up abusive towards me. Physically, mentally and emotionally. And the few friends, including female friends, worth having in my life were the people who abandoned me. So I've gotten used to being alone now.

And don't get me started on being friends who guys who actually did stop hanging out with me because of jealous girlfriends.. So I was not sure if they hated, distrusted, me. Or they distrusted their boyfriends.

That happened frequently too.. So having every trust issue that I have been through. I tend to push people away, before they push me away.

Yeah. Regardless of sexuality, I just can't see the BTS boys in any ship that isn't a familial ship. Kinships? Something like that. Like.. I am fine with side ships but not main ships. Nothing against people who enjoy those ships though. People should read and write their own stories.

I haven't officially came up with a nickname yet... But you might know by now that I'm the verbose anon who never even knows how to keep messages shorter than what I respond with. That may be a give away.

I finally FINALLY have the time and proper mental space to reply to this!!! Lemme dig in!!

I never thought you were ignoring me dear!! don't worry I know we all have out social limits and sometimes you just need to not be a person for a while in order to recharge. I think it's incredibly kind that you are aware of your mindset when interacting with folks and chose not to interact when you know it isn't in the best place. But please know that I'm here if you ever need to vent or need a little sprinkle of colour or kindness in life. Depression is so hard and I would never treat you differently because of it <3

I'm so so sorry the guitarist from your fav band is leaving 😔. I hope it's so that they can better their health or for the best at least. And if not, i personally find a comfort in knowing that you had them in the band for as long as you did, and you can always go back to old videos and music to reminisce. But again that's a personal coping mechanism of mine.

You're not overreacting. If this is your favourite band I'm going to assume they play rather large role in your life. So it's completely understandable to have big feelings about it. If the guitarist from my favourite band was leaving I would have enormous feelings about it as he's been with the band since 2003. Like. It's something that's a big deal. Your reaction is super valid.

Emoji's are dumb like that sometimes unfortunately. I'm happy to use whichever emoji you'd like. Or a psued if you want. Both work for me. But I usually know it's you , you're memorable!

And I can respect that. I would never push you to not be like that, I just want you to know that I'm here if you need it. The anon part of tumblr is a beautiful feature that way. Talking to strangers who are also friends without the pressure of them actually knowing. It's a very amazing type of human connection. And I find it easier to tell filks things when it can't fall back on me. Like a living diary almost. I find it super cool at least. An annonymous form of community you can't really replicate anywhere else. Beautfiul when you think about it.

Ahhh gotcha!! RE: side ships and pairings. Totally makes sense!!

I'm not someone who can be triggered easily, I semi-regularly consume darker content/ dead dove type (mainly out of loving jealously for the folks who write it so well. my ass could never) so as long as the terms you chose are talked about with respect or in proper terminolog I dont see myself being upset.

Your style sounds like what I would dress as if i had a bit more courage. I'd love to dye my hair again and get so many pericings and tats but i haven't quite gotten myself there yet. Hell, my mum has more tats than me. Just go ther sleeve done a year or two ago and is working on her next one soon! It's just something about that particular style that's comfortable to me, but my neurodivergence (AuADHD) makes permanent alterations to my body freak me out a bit, hence the need for courage. It's more of a mental block than anything,

Also it is 100% me who always goes off topic so fear not! you fit right in if you slip once of twice too!

Half of my closest decade(s) long friendships are with guys so I absolutely agree with you. I never dated any of them and neither did the other girls in the friend group. We've all known one another (as in all of us in the group knowing everyone in the group) since 9th grade and we're turning 25 this year. So it's absolutely possible. People just like to think it's not.

I was similar. When I think of my childhood and my childhood frienships, all of my girl friends were neighbours, whereas all of my school friends were primarily guys, and for the same and similar reasons you've mentioned. I was primarily raised by my dad and I only have brothers so it makes sense to me why I hung out with guys more. And I had a similar experience where girls were just mean to me for no reason and I couldnt at the time figure it out. I know why now that I'm older. But still, that hurts when you're young so you're more likely to go and be with those who feel safer to be with.

I knew i felt a certain type of similarity between out experiences and the shared diagnosis' makes so much sense. Folks treat me very different once I mention that ASD is the reason I dont undertsand things they way they tell me too or whatever the situation is. It's actually why I left my last job. They wouldn't accomodate me and my performance suffered to much as did my mental health.

"many female friends were jealous of me for whatever reasons they had. I'm not being conceited. They were actually jealous of me for any reasons I don't know." My mum saw this when i was younger too. She said i was (and am) "intimidating" and so people would try their best to knock me down a peg. hence the jealousy when their couldnt or when the realised that they wanted what i had. I've accepted it now, and silently acknowledge it. But once again, it still hurt the little girl who couldn't figure out why she was treated so differently.

'The girls I knew end up abusive towards me. Physically, mentally and emotionally. And the few friends, including female friends, worth having in my life were the people who abandoned me. So I've gotten used to being alone now." I'm truly sorry you had to/ have to deal with this. Not in a pitying way, but in a 'human to human I see and acknowledge the things you've gone through in your life' way. I hope you are able to one day build and find for yourself a lovely group of humans who love and respect you for you. Who don't tear you down like the horrible people before them, and instead lift you up. I will happily be a part of that, should you like to have me, just so you know. I may be words on a screen, but there is a person behind them who sees you.

The girlfriend situation of guy friends is something I have very fortunately not had to deal with as I usually end up being their friend too. I have a habit of wanting everyone to feel accepted and included in spaces I exist in, and it commonly plays to my favour. But I have had and heard second hand experiences with this, and it's just awful. And we can reiterate to earlier where guys and girls can be friends without anything going on. I have never understood girls who cut their guys off from perfectly normal and healthy female frienships.

Pushing folks away before they push you is absolutely a coping mechanism I understand. Breaking through that was one of the more difficult things I've been trying to learn as an adult. That some rare folks actually want to be there for me, and truly have no ill intentions. I hope you are able to one day have this as well, to which, once again, I will happily be one, should you want.

Perfectly respectable opinion on the boys and relationships. I have nothing to add other than I agreee completey.

And yes XD I am usually able to tell it's you by the length!! I just know some folks like having a tag to make searching for thir asks easier! I know I did before i had tumblr. It just made tracking what I'd sent in way easier! No rush tho!

Hope you are well, darling <3. Always lovely chatting with you.

god.  god.  i think about httyd’s world and i want to burst into tears.   of all that breathes and crawl across the earth.   we want to live before the wind,   in the wind,   our own reality.    time is only the unhousing of ourselves,   and we recognize it straightaway. 

May I have an MHA/BNHA matchup? :0 if ur matchups are closed by the time u see this, or u just don't feel like writing one, you can ignore!

I'm an INFP/J (last time I took an MBTI test I was equal on this...idek 😬) and my zodiacs are sun Leo, moon Aquarius, rising Capricorn

I'm introverted and quiet irl, but I get told I'm rude and have an attitude around ppl I don't like lol (mostly just a-holes like homophobes and racists), but I'm friendly around nice people :) Most of the time I have a pessimistic mindset but that changes a lot.

I also have ADHD and possibly PTSD

My kins are Aizawa, Deku, and Tokoyami. (Or Todoroki, Jirou, and Bakugou, too.)

My hobbies/passions are drawing, music, making stories (in my head cuz I forget to write everyday lol). I also like gaming, watching Youtube or Twitch streamers, and eating 🌮🎂🍕 I'm also a huge nerd and love to research pointless topics lmao (and I like research mental health :>)

I dislike really toxic people (like ab*sers or hateful people), talkative people (ppl who can strike up convos and keep them going are fine, but ppl who can't stand silence and always have to talk about something all day just annoy me :l), loud noises and alcohol cuz they're triggers for me. (I also hate the cold, idk if that's relevent tho lol)

My fashion sense is pretty much anything alt! Mainly goth, punk, kawaii, scene, and a lil emo (+kidcore and hippie 💖) I don't have a main fave so any of those are fine to me

Random facts about myself? I grew up around metal/death rock (and punk rock...pretty much every genre of rock lolol) so any types of heavy, energetic music genres are always my faves.

I used to be a brony-creepypasta fan and I still kinda am deep inside lmao, so my partner better get used to me talking about Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory...😂😬

I've been tryna regain my childhood for months now 😔 sad fact lmfao

Aaanddd I'm a geography freak :) I love learning about different countries and unique languages

Last fact! I admire alt ppl so much lol, for example everytime I see a fellow goth by baby bat ass just wants to be besties with them but I'm too shy and awkward to talk to them 😭

Again, if u don't feel like writing or ur matchups are already closed, feel free to ignore! I hope you have an amazing day 😊

I honestly didn’t know I had such cool moots 😭 Literally where have you been my entire life people?

I match you up with:

Kyouka Jirou!

Hc:

- When she saw you she instantly fell in love. On the moment she knew you were perfect in every little way, with every quirk of your personality and action. Even if you come off as rude for most people, she has literal stars in her eyes as she watches you. Will also defend you to the end of the world (it’s not your fault M*neta is being a scum again)

- Was and still is nervous around you, always blushing like crazy and fidgeting with her ears. At first, she brushed off the feelings she had, hoping they would fade away. Wrong. The moment you hit her with a geography fact, she was done, lost the war and now had the word ‘love’ tattooed all over her brain.

- How did she confess to you, you may ask… She. Wrote. You. A. Song. And sang it to you. Just imagine what happened in her heart when she found out you were just as down bad for her as she was. (Kyouka started that day to write more songs about you and by now she has enough material for an album)

- You are almost always in eachother’s presence, even if you are not really interacting. It’s just being in the same room that is comforting.

- You also go on shopping dates together and basically go through every alt shop you find, buying endless accessories and clothes, sometimes even matching things. You know the lego half heart necklace thing? You both have one of those, and never take them off (except for bath ofc)

- She help you throughout every ptsd attack. When smth triggers you, she is fast to get you out of that place and comfort you in small ways. Jirou knows that is better to not suffocate you right now, but still stays with you until you feel better. She doesn’t want you to ever feel sad or depressed again, and be sure that Kyouka makes it her goal to bring a little light in your life. In return, you always comfort and praise her when insecurity hits, reminding her of how much love you have for her, and how you’ll never let the thing you have go.

- You listen to music together, obviously, but also watch a lot of videos on youtube. When either of you comes over to the other’s dorm you do this and it’s honestly so cute (and domestic?) and i want it to.

- 10/10, easily the best gf there is.

Oh boy now i really want to read a meta explaining Aomine's depression in detail and how it affected him in Teiko and in high school. Don't get me wrong, it was epic but it was just "too much" you know? at some point i was like okay i think that's enough for now. Ohh same i was gonna say Yosen vs Seirin is another of my least favorite match, i cant vibe with it it's so...eh. and i disliked Himuro's behavior in it (and in general i totally disagree with his treatment toward Kagami) he was so emo and cringey, and this match started a trend i don't like for Seirin in the Winter Cup in which they always won by one point, like in the Seirin vs Too match, it was new, hype and very exciting then it just started to feel like plot armor for Seirin and it stopped being exciting and i stopped cheering for them cause it was obvious they'd win. Yeah it's his attitude but it's also his personality, he's just so boring, he doesn't have anything that make him stand out compared to the rest of the GOM in my opinion and his drawled voice accentuates his boredom ^^' You're welcome, i also really love talking about KNB, i could do it for hours and i have soo many thoughts. So, some more questions if you don't mind: what are your thoughts on the Last Game movie ending compared with the manga Extra Game? Who had the best glow-up look in your opinion and (since I have to ask this) who had the worst haircut? Personally, I did like that they changed the ending of the movie even though it shocked me the first time but I like to consider the two options but of course I prefer the ending where Kagami stays because what's Seirin without him? But I did love that final scene at the airport, it was very touching! And in my opinion, Aomine was the one with the best glow-up look (I just love his new haircut) followed by Kise and Takao, and the worst haircut definitely go to Midorima and Mibuchi, like why?? Just w h y? Midorima straight up look like a 40 y/o dad with his white shirt in that scene when Nash pushes Kuroko, that's lame cause it draws out his posh personality even more and make him look more stiff :/ whereas the first seasons look made him seem a little bit more wild if it makes sense

Same!! I'm pretty sure there's some good ones out there, I think ive read a couple but I can't remember rn lol I'll search and see if I can find some

Yeah I get you, I think they went above and beyond with that match to an absurd rate so I get it can be off-putting. Aaaaa same with himuro tho!! Like regardless of how many times I rewatched it I could never agree with his mindset, and I guess I also couldn't fully understand it. Like poor kagami man, himuro was his first friend in America and they were like brothers and himuro wanting to dissolve that bond so kagami could play him at full power was like ??? It was selfish. I def didn't like him throughout all that especially when he talked to Alex cause it's like I thought your problem was with kagami but I guess you're just like this?? I'm cool with him now tho. But man could I relate to kuroko when after the yosen vs seirin match he was like "what are you two, idiots? You can be rivals and brothers"  LIKE YEAH EXACTLY??!? But oh that's true!! And again I think its because the Too vs Seirin match set the standards SO HIGH that every match afterwards they tried to keep those standards or lift them higher. I feel like Kaijo vs Seirin at the winter cup is a game that especially shows the problems u stated. Fantastic game nonetheless but man did it have me rooting for Kaijo more than Seirin.

True true, I feel like he's the most undeveloped important characters when it comes to personality. I think also because aside from his boredom his defining traits are food and how large he is and its like I feel we could've gotten more.

Literally same!! Pls I love questions 💞💖💖💞 Last Game aaaaa now this ive been wanting to talk about agsgdjdj I gotta say at first I watched the movie without reading the manga version of it. So I was DEVASTATED by that ending. Like I felt so hurt I was sobbing at that airport scene and their goodbyes sfafsjdhfk so I was extremely relived that the manga actually turned out to have a different ending where he stayed. Feel like Kagami as a character would not leave Seirin or Kuroko when he's still got got many games to play against the GOM so while I also prefer the ending where he stays and consider that the true version of events, i can't say I hate the anime version. It's kind of fun we got to have both versions even if one of them breaks my heart they were both done well and left me feeling so much agsjkdjdld

Best glow up for me goes to Kise hands down. Aomine looked AMAZING tho I'm so glad the movie did his handsomeness justice I feel like the anime series didn't capture it well. But Kise looked so good with his haircut istg I didn't recognize him at first lmao but yeah last game kise 10/10 the best glow up what a guy. We have similar rankings except the first two are switched with Kise, Aomine and Akashi instead of Takao. But Takao is an honorable mention along with Miyaji because they looked GREAT 👌

But i completely agree with your worst haircut picks because WHY?? why would they do midorima and reo like that?? 😭😭😭 I loved that Reo had long hair he looked so beautiful!! And it fit him so well and with the last game haircut it's like who??? Are you??? And MIDORIMA aaaa don't even get me started on his haircut pls I really tried to like it because I love him but I just can't. And I completely get what you're saying like midorima looked so grown up and like an adult and like yeah he's always had that more mature and intellectual personality but he's still a highschooler why are they making him look like a serious grown ass man wsgsgdjdhd. His hair during the anime series was great and I loved it, it kept his youthfulness without taking away from presenting him as a more strict character.  Also maybe unpopular opinion but I also didn't like momoi's hair in last game like I loved her hair strands that went on her face she looked so pretty and she's still pretty but I just don't like it 😔

Capitalism and greed has really screwed with people’s ability to be casual moviegoers. Every studio needs to make a “universe” now and some of you don’t walk in the theater with the mindset of, ‘This is going to be good!’ Instead, you walk in the theater thinking, ‘This is totally going to blow the other franchise out of the water!’ You don’t see a movie to enjoy a movie anymore. You go to compete. And the idea that someone could just enjoy movies from either universe is unfounded to you, because you’ve adopted this ‘pick-a-side’ mentality. Sorry, but it just seems so exhausting. Doesn’t it make you tired?

I'm glad Ruby Rose is telling her story, but remember that Ray Fisher has been speaking on the abuse he endured from WB since last year. This isn't a new problem just because a white victim has come forward.

I want you all to know that seeing Taika Waititi kissing Tessa Thompson and Rita Ora AND seeing Rita Ora and Tessa Thompson kiss made this poly bi woman feel validated, even if I don't know the context of the pictures.

I think Gen Z teens and young adults really need to know something about Emo fashion and music as they enjoy its revival.

I'm not writing this to talk down to anyone just to be clear, but some of you really do take for granted the fact that you have more freedom than millennials and other generations before you to cross manufactured gender boundaries.

I was a teenager at the height of the popularity of alternative bands such as My Chemical Romance, The Used, and AFI. Believe it or not, bands such as these were dunked on because they looked and sounded "like girls." Also, the fact that a lot of their lyrics were emotionally charged didn't help either. Back in the 2000s, boys and men were not allowed to be sensitive. If they were, they risked being identified as gay, and yes, things are a little better now, but in the 2000s, you DID NOT want to be identified as gay. Also, this wasn't just a thing with boys. If you were a girl and had a crush on any of the members of these bands, you got the sideways glances. More than one person in high school suspected I was gay or at least bi (I mean, I am and I just didn't know it back then, but that's not the point). I didn't get it as bad as some of my friends, but the stigma was certainly there.

I just want Gen Z fans to be a little mindful of that when they pish posh someone like Gerard Way's influence in queer culture. Yes, now their aesthetic doesn't seem like a big deal, but it certainly WAS in 2004 and you have people like them to partially thank for your ability to be a little less scared of being identified as queer.

I really want to write an article about how Twilight vampires were "safe" vampires that stripped the queerness of the monster to appeal to white cishet audiences, but I'm lazy and I don't know where to start. 😖

Not to be rude to the post about self/harm. But feeling so depressed to the point that cutting is all there is, then feeling relief adds to the romantization. Of course, it doesn't last. But as an ex-cutter since I was a teen, I did have thoughts of my scars being beautiful, I just didn't want anyone calling them that because I was possessive of them. I didn't want them to fade, so I would cut over the scars. Over time, as an adult, I stopped, but I'm also not ashamed of them.

______________________________________________________

Ok I understand and I’m wondering how to comment on that cause it’s a tough subject... and I see your point, a lot of self harmers can develop that sort of thinking along the way. I didn’t think that mine are beautiful, but for example i felt ashamed when the cut was too shallow, i had a very stupid need to cut very deep, just to prove it’s not some weak paper cut of some myspace emo girl, etc. So i think it’s natural that cutters develop some completely irrational patterns of thinking. Same with re-cutting. I’m not ashamed of my old scars either. 

The problem i see with Emilie’s writing is however that she overuses that “beautiful” thing, she stresses constantly how beautiful the scars, the droplets of blood are. It would look completely fine if she said it just once or twice. Or explained that she couldn’t help but think like that at the time, but it’s actually destructive illusion, etc. She should be more aware of the fact she’s got impressionable following and that by romanticizing cutting, she’s selling thinking patterns to those girls. Cutting Diaries was a very controversial subject in the fandom. A lot of people found it painfully relatable - I relate and agree with some parts of it too. But at the same time it was very triggering and 1) triggered a lot of ex-cutters come back to cutting, cause it brought back well known memories and feelings, 2) introduced a lot of people into cutting. I’ve literally seen people confessing that they started cutting because of Emilie, cause they’ve seen the reasons before cutting and thought it’s right and if entire world hurts you anyway, then you have to right to hurt yourself too, etc. Part of them were impressionable stupid young girls that wanted to be 100% like Emilie in every area of their life. Others were just depressed, troubled people who didn’t know how to deal with their problems, but never tried cutting before - now, after reading all the reasons that seemed rational to them, a lot decided to give it a go, with the mindset of “maybe it helps”. I think everyone is responsible for his own actions and you cannot blame other’s art for your behaviour. But some people are just like that - either depressed enough or stupid enough to try. 

I think what you should take from the Cutting Diary is that it was suffering and desperation that made Emilie start to cut, but you could also read from the book that she lowkey continued to do this cause it was “beautiful”. All that talking on beautiful crimson blood is like a bible to all those dark mall goth Tumblr and Instagram girls romanticizing serial killers, daddy kinks and cutting your soft grunge pastel skin, cause ~aesthetic~. You get what I’m trying to say? After X page of X same praise of cutting, next line of “beautiful, beautiful blood/scars” it honestly begins to sound fake, not like a diary of feelings and pain and valid reasons, but a documentation of her personal cutting fetish of some sort, saying how pretty it is. 

She shouldn’t do this, I don’t know how else can I explain my point of view... It’s fucked up on a lot of levels. As I said, everyone is responsible for their own actions and should never be influenced to cut by a book, or someone else’s unhealthy cutting standards. But yeah, it is triggering text and it can borrow others unhealthy ways of thinking. I would leave her other writings, reasons of cutting, feelings of sorrow, of lack of understanding from her friends and whatnot, but not those romanticizing depiction of cutting, even if that’s they way she used to think. I would allow saying it once, but she comes back and repeats it over and over. 

It’s just that at some point it doesn’t look like she cuts because she wants to escape from psychic pain, it looks as if she cuts because she wants a pretty scar. 

I understand that at one point this sort of thinking becomes a natural habit, but constant mentions of that took away the credibility and made it look very wrong, made it look like some girl who just considers scars sexy, so she makes them. 

I hope you understand what i mean, it’s hard to discuss because i know romanticizing can become a by-product of self-harm, but i honestly think in the case of beautifying cutting, Emilie Autumn took it too far
